Visualizing telemetry data
Visualization tools present metrics and logs on charts and diagrams to help you analyze the system's condition and diagnose issues.
Visualization addresses three primary objectives:
- Current state monitoring: Real-time tracking of key indicators.
- Incident analysis: Searching for causes of failures through correlation of data from multiple sources.
- Resource planning: Evaluating consumption trends and forecasting loads.
Visualization tools:
- Dashboards combine multiple widgets on the same screen for integrated data presentation.
- Overview page gives a real-time view of the data. There is an overview page for each data type: metrics, logs, and traces.
You can filter chart data by time intervals, services, environments, etc. Also, you can also break the data down by specific attributes for a more detailed analysis.
You can create dashboards manually or use ready-made ones that come with the Yandex Cloud services.
